The Tantalizing Jeannie "Theresa" Donovan Thread

[DisneyBoy]

She's charming. She's talented. She's lethal with a fireplace poker.

Shane and Kimberly's little Jeannie sure grew up into a whirlwind of a woman. Whether toying with JJ, Daniel or Brady...tormenting Abigail, Jennifer or Melanie...or matching wits with Xander, Kristen or Mateo, she sure does keep things interesting. And yet the highlight of her adult years in Salem must surely be her friendship with Anne Milbauer, who is sorely missed.

Hats off to JL, whose performances gave this character more mileage than she would have had otherwise.

Thanks, DisneyBoy, for this!!  Absolutely fabulous!

Lawd, I can’t stand her!

I'd forgotten, 'til I saw the picture, that Kim had interacted with Theresa as an adult on screen!

[I know I read a blurb not along ago how Patsy Pease once stayed with JL to tape scenes, but I couldn't remember when that was...]

Yes, a few times (though not many).

I tried to find pics of Patsy from her stint when Theresa was newly back from Italy and threatening to take Tate away to LA as a way to force Brady to dump Melanie...but I couldn't find any.

It's difficult because images from certain sites just don't copy/paste well on here, so even if I find a cool gif or pic, I might have to omit it. It can leave holes in the chronology. I do what I can.

Does anyone know when those pics of Caroline with Brady and Theresa happened?

I couldn't find anything from Brady and Theresa's post-Yo Ling engagement party and that was a cute event, with her crawling around on the floor looking for her ring.

Also wanted to find more shots of Anne helping her with Basic Black, but no luck there either. I really enjoyed their friendship.

Lov Jen and Theresa! Great actress 👏 👍

Okay, I cackled at the introduction of the new Theresa.

Great thread, DisneyBoy! Truly was a fantastic trip down memory lane. I love some of the pictures you've posted! And I agree that Jen Lilley somehow made Theresa into a much more compelling, interesting and viable character than she might have otherwise been, especially with some of the problematic writing she's had over the years.
